      Lots of things to do!

      Well kept camping sites. Easy drive up style. Picnic tables and fire pits on site. Bathrooms and dumpster close by. River that is walk and drive through!

      White Pines Forest State Park Campground

      Lovely natural scenery; campground leaves something to be desired

      Let's start with the good stuff:

      • The park is beautiful. Lovely trees, lots of shade, the hiking trails are nice, well marked, and they even have an accessible trail for those with disabilities!
      • There is a restaurant and gift shop on site. Gift shop sells wood if you run low or forget.
      • The bathrooms and shower house are relatively clean and well kept.

      Now for the not so great stuff:

      • Many of the campsites are sloped and some are sloped A LOT. This isn't obvious from the booking page.

      • The campground is absolutely jammed with camp sites- it's ridiculous. I've never been to a campground where the sites were so on top of one another.

      • We stayed in the Sunny Crest loop and the drinking water well was broken so we had to travel to other parts of the campground for water. When carrying a 10 gallon jug full of water back, that really sucked.

      • The sites that are marked as "hike in" aren't secluded and away from other sites at all, as one might expect. They are jammed in with all the others but there just isn't any parking nearby.

      • It had rained the day before was went and so the road to the campgrounds was blocked off (presumably because the creek was running too high), but there was NO SIGNAGE telling us how to get there another way. There was no one in the park office or in the camping registration station to ask. We finally figured out that we had to take an emergency road/auxiliary road to get to the campground, but that was after about 30 minutes of confusion.

      • The breakfast buffet at the restaurant is mid but very pricey- $50 for 2 of us.

      • The quiet hours and no alcohol policy are not enforced at all. While we were there, there was a very loud group playing beer pong into the wee hours of the morning.

      • About half of the fire rings don't have grill grates so bring your own or bring a camp stove (See pic). Also, when you book your site, there is no way to know if your fire ring will have a grill grate or note.

      Nice and clean

      Very nice campground! Staff and campers alike were friendly, and the air conditioned cabin was perfect with the very humid night.

      Morrison-Rockwood State Park

      A lovely campground with the CLEANEST bathrooms and showerhouse!

      This campground is a lovely gem! Most of the camp sites are fairly secluded from one another by distance and from surrounding foliage (see pic). The exceptions would be sites 55-64 that loop around the playground. We, unfortunately, didn't know this and so had site 61. It was nice little spot with plenty of shade but I was a bit jealous of those with more secluded spots, especially since we are tent campers and all of the others on the loop were big RVs.

      The pros:

      - The campground hosts were lovely. Friendly but not overbearing, as some can be.

      - The on site restaurant/bait shop/ boat rental was very convenient! Husband forgot to pack something and the little bait shop had what we needed. Plus, we were able to buy firewood there, too.

      - Lovely scenery! The hiking trails were well maintained and there were lots of beautiful flowers, bird, and butterflies. We even saw a raccoon!

      - The (and I cannot emphasize this enough) CLEANEST campground bathrooms I've ever seen! I'm not squeamish and have been camping for years so my expectations for campground bathroom cleanliness is well calibrated but these bathrooms (even the vault toilets!) were amazingly clean! There weren't even spiderwebs on the ceiling of the shower house. Just *chef's kiss*

      - The water from the pump was very clean.

      The cons:

      -  Lack of privacy/seclusion for the 55-64 sites along the loop.

      - For that same loop, since it circles the playground, if kids playing noises bother you, might want to choose a different site.

      - The food at the restaurant was meh. It was fine- it was sustenance. Nothing to write home about.

      - LOTS of big RVs. It wasn't an issue for us on this trip, but on other camping trips sometimes being surrounded by big RVs just isn't a great vibe.

      Pit (Vault) Toilet in Campground

      This fairly new State Park would of merited "5 stars", but the pit (aka vault) toilet smell was just tooooooo much and we weren't even close! 

      PROS 

      Park beautifully maintained and mowed throughout S

      Site 109 shady 

      Site 109 gravel parking pad level 

      Moveable wooden picnic table 

      Metal campfire ring with cooking grate 

      Roadways easy to maneuver without obstacles 

      Quite except for train whistle close by 

      Partial privacy from neighbors 

      Toilet/shower facility in next campground (Savanna) very clean and sufficiently stocked

       Very nice 12 ft wide asphalt bike trails 

      Night sky friendly as no street lights in campground 

      Firewood for sale at entrance gate 

      Frequent park ranger campground drive throughs 

      Double lane dump station 

      Double lane portable water fill stations 

      CONS 

      The aroma of the pit toilet between Spruce and Savanna Campgrounds could be smelled throughout both campgrounds. Disgusting!!! No hand wash station at pit toilet 

      Modern toilet/shower facility only in Savanna Campground 

      No security gate closure overnight 

      All trash dumpsters near campground entrance gatehouse 

      5pm checkin 

      No interpretive programs Monday thru Thursday

      White Pines Forest State Park Campground

      Nice park, with some downsides.

      This is the type of campground you go and check your spot out before you reserve it. Many of the tent campsites are literally on a hill. Some are very close. They really crammed them wherever they could. The amenities are excellent and the only reason I gave 3 stars, the shower/restroom was very nice and air conditioned. Potable water available. If I knew the campground was gonna be sideways I wouldn’t have reserved it, not gonna lie I was pissed when I saw it as I reserved it for 3-4 days. There’s lots of them that are on flat ground/tucked away and look excellent but it’s a gamble unless you go there beforehand to look. There’s a ford you have to cross to get to the campground but its not that bad people this isn’t Oregon Trail you won’t float away and lose an Ox and wagon wheel.

      Great campsite in a thriving small town to explore

      Great place to camp! Right on the Hennepin Canal. RV, tent, Cabins, and Yurt camping. The couple that run this campsite are so sweet! Pedal bikes for kids (and grown ups), a spray ground, and more! Two local breweries in town and tons of shopping and food options.

      Woodside Campground, Scott County Park Iowa

      Nice Flat, Well-Groomed Albeit Barren CG

      This CG is one of 6 that you have to choose from here at Scott County Park, wherein Woodside is definitely more geared for the RVs – especially the much larger ones, so if you have a very big rig, this likely is the best CG for you – with each site offering FHUs with electric, water& sewage, fire rings and picnic tables. If you wanted to tent camp here, you could, although I would recommend nearby Incahias or Sac-Fox as better for tent campers. Unlike some of the other campgrounds, Woodside is somewhat bare and desolate inside the actual campground with the land being incredibly flat, but wide open so therefore not providing much privacy or shade whatsoever. Back-in slots are spacious, hard and very level with the grounds being incredibly well-kept and impeccably clean bathroom / shower facilities with great HOT running water.

      Albeit with a short hike through the forest, Woodside CG is near Cody Lake and Glynn’s Creek, which offers some decent oaring in your kayak or canoe. Sitting adjacent to Cody Lake is an eponymous community shelter than can be reserved or used on a first-come, first-served basis. There’s also a playground for the kiddos and a restroom facility that is also spartan-clean as well access to Glynn’s Creek Trailhead which is a moderate hike and further afield throughout the rest of the park, there’s no shortage of hiking / biking / horse trails. We found Woodside to be fairly quiet, although lacking in privacy without the benefit of any real brush or trees to blot out our next-door neighbors, but that said, everyone was incredibly friendly with full displays of Midwestern hospitality that this area is known for.

      Scott County Park is easy to fall in love with, whether traveling solo or with a family as there is a lot that this park offers up: from fresh water catch & release lakes, combination of topographies, from woodlands, wetlands and prairie grasslands, beautiful 18-hole championship golf course, outdoor exercise areas, club house and concessions, stand-alone cabins for rent, designated dump stations and trash receptacles, numerous picnic areas, massive heated swimming pool complete with a snake-like water slide, volleyball court, ranger stations, seasonal on-site hosts, firewood available for purchase at entry stations, Walnut Grove Pioneer Village and St. Anne’s church at the park’s NW perimeter, 7 community shelters, designated picnic areas, a memorial park, equestrian area and an incredibly well-paved network of roads that allows you to easily access just about every corner of this park. Oh, and the incredibly friendly rangers that constantly patrol and keep this beautiful park in full working order were nothing short of amazing.

      Happy Camping!

    Guide to Savanna

    Morrison-Rockwood State Park, located 32 miles southeast of Savanna, offers wooded camping with sites spaced around several loops. The park sits at approximately 700 feet elevation with a small 77-acre lake as its centerpiece. Campers should prepare for temperature swings typical of the region, where summer highs reach 85°F and overnight lows can drop 20-25 degrees.

    What to do

    Explore backwaters by boat: Rock Creek Marina and Campground provides access to Mississippi River backwaters with kayak and canoe rentals for exploring the riverine ecosystem. "The grounds are on backwaters of the Mississippi so there are boat ramps, docks, and areas to fish. The camp store also offers canoe, kayak, and other boat rentals," notes Chris F.

    Visit educational centers: The Eco Center at Rock Creek Marina and Campground showcases local wildlife and offers naturalist programs. "Gorgeous surrounding, something for everyone. Environmental center for kids and adults alike and a cafe," explains Crystal R. The center features native animals and a large fish aquarium.

    Hiking opportunities: White Pines Forest State Park provides multiple trail options through pine forests. A camper shared, "There are a handful of trails around the park that allow you to do a variety of hikes (none of them are very long, so you can do a few different ones)." Some trails include stream crossings that appeal to families with children.

    What campers like

    Spacious, private sites: Many campers appreciate the generous site spacing at Morrison-Rockwood State Park. "If you want to spend a lot of your time just relaxing at camp, this is a great spot. Our site was huge, flat and private - no trouble finding flat ground to pitch the tent," says Amy R. The sites in several loops maintain good separation with mature trees providing shade and natural barriers.

    Clean facilities: Shower buildings and restrooms receive regular maintenance at most campgrounds near Savanna. "The (and I cannot emphasize this enough) CLEANEST campground bathrooms I've ever seen! I'm not squeamish and have been camping for years so my expectations for campground bathroom cleanliness is well calibrated but these bathrooms (even the vault toilets!) were amazingly clean!" notes Stacie H. about Morrison-Rockwood.

    Weekend entertainment: For social camping near Savanna, Timber Lake Resort organizes regular activities. "They had live music, loud live music Saturday night. To be fair, the music was made clear on their webpage. We were kind of close and didn't have to go to the stage area to hear it clearly. It was good music and it was fun. They have a margarita bar as well as a bags tournament," Jeff G. explains.

    What you should know

    Train noise: Some campgrounds experience regular train traffic that may disrupt light sleepers. "Biggest issue is train tracks with trains running by very often. Maybe an hour or 90 minutes with none then there would be three in a very short period. Kind of like living next to an airport," reports Tony D. about Blanding Landing.

    Site leveling challenges: Several campgrounds feature uneven terrain, particularly at White Pines Forest State Park. One camper observed, "Many of the campsites are sloped and some are sloped A LOT. This isn't obvious from the booking page." Bringing leveling blocks or carefully selecting sites is recommended.

    Water conditions vary: Lake quality and water access can change seasonally. "It has rained and the little lake was dark brown and dirty," noted one Timber Lake visitor, while another mentioned, "The fishing was less than par." Water levels and clarity affect swimming and fishing opportunities throughout the season.

    Tips for camping with families

    Playground-adjacent sites: For families with young children, certain loops at Lake Le-Aqua-Na State Park provide excellent playground access. "We had site 57 which is in a loop which goes around a playground. It was great for the kids who could go play and the sites in this loop provide plenty of space and privacy," shares Ben W. about a similar setup at Morrison-Rockwood.

    Kid-friendly hiking: White Pines Forest State Park offers confidence-building trails for younger hikers. "We've gone camping here the last two Memorial Day weekends with our three kids currently aged 8, 6, and 3. The hikes are all very doable, there is a playground, ice cream at the lodge and a few wide open spaces for frisbee or playing catch. The hikes were confidence boosters for our kids," mentions Leah W.

    Educational opportunities: The nature centers provide hands-on learning about local ecosystems. "The on site restaurant/bait shop/ boat rental was very convenient! Husband forgot to pack something and the little bait shop had what we needed," notes Stacie H. about facilities that combine recreation with education.

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection: Choosing the right site can make a significant difference in comfort for RV campers near Savanna. At Palace Campground, "If you get along the outsides you have a lot more privacy and better chance they will be level. If you aren't worried about sharing a conversation with your neighbor then you can pick anything," advises Scott M.

    Dump station planning: During busy periods, dump stations can become congested. "The line to clean out the tanks was long and blocks the way in and out. The roads need repair, many potholes," shares Bill L. about Lake Le-Aqua-Na State Park, suggesting early morning or late evening visits to avoid waiting.

    Access roads: Some glamping options close to Savanna, Illinois have challenging entry points. "The rise angle to our space was almost too much to back in without dragging the bumper. Once in, the concrete pad was level," explains Jeff G. about Timber Lake Resort, highlighting the importance of approach angle awareness for larger rigs.
